Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has warned that it was "inevitable" that "war" would come to Russia after authorities there were forced to temporarily close a busy Moscow airport following an overnight drone attack on the capital.

    So much for this being a defensive mission. I hope this was a deepfake pretending to be Zelenskyy…

    I worry what this will justify Putin doing. We may yet see chemical weapons or tactical nukes in Ukraine.

      There werent even any casualties. So what will now justify:

      • local lnvasion since 2014
      • Bucha
      • indoctrination in occupied territories (that means genocide)
      • full scale invasion since 2022

      I thought there was a joint resolution that tactical nukes in Ukraine would be the trigger for Article 5.

        If Russia resorts to a nuclear bomb it means they are ready for all types of responses from the west. Including if not the only obvious outcome a full on nuclear war. Russia might declear war and a general mobilisation before going nuclear.

        Last time they tried they were very close to entering Kiev. They might try that a second time with the help of Wagner mercenaries from the north
